ELIZABETH TAYLOR - WGA AIDS AIDS PERFORMERS

The Writers Guild of America agreed to withdraw its pickets from the Paramount studio lot on Saturday so that Elizabeth Taylor and James Earl Jones would not have to cross their lines to give an AIDS benefit performance. Taylor had asked the guild for a one night dispensation" so that she and her invitees could participate in the affair. Taylor and Jones gave a reading of A.R. Gurney's play, Love Letters. It was attended by more than 500 people, who each paid $2,500 for the one-night performance.
